Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Khalid Abdullah, said: "It is a great honour and it is a credit to Sir Henry Cecil and the Juddmonte breeding operation.
"We have had champions in the past notably Dancing Brave and Oasis Dream but it is still great to receive the recognition."

DON'T PUSH IT, the horse who finally realised Tony McCoy's dream of winning the Grand National, has run his last race and is set to enjoy his retirement at owner JP McManus's Martinstown Stud in Ireland.
The Jonjo O'Neill-trained 12-year-old famously landed the National at Aintree in 2010 to provide the trainer, McManus and champion jockey McCoy with their first victory in the world's greatest chase.
